The Wartenberg wheel is a another wonderful product by Pipedream. The wheel is 3/4 in diameter and has 20 small rounded off nubs all the way around it. You also get a blindfold that is included in the same box. This product is a must have to anyone's collection. Whether you’re a beginner or into light BDSM this toy is for you. This wheel is all about sensory play. From sensual, ticklish to even a little pain. It all depends on what you want.

In my use of the wheel this is how I can best describe how it feels. When applying light pressure the wheel gives a soft tickling sensation. When applying a little firmer pressure it’s a little bit of a prickly sensation with a tickle. I really haven’t had it applied with really hard pressure for a long period of time, but it feels extremely nice with a little bit of a OUCH but you mostly get AHHH's. I probably couldn’t handle it on most areas of my body at that rate. Heavy pressure can leave small temporary marks.

The best use of the wheel is being blindfolded with the blindfold that comes with the wheel while your partner starts out giving you a massage. Then when you’re not expecting it they can gently apply the wheel to your body applying gentle pressure. Running the wheel all over your body from head to toe changing pressures while rolling it to see what drives you wild. How much pressure can you take, and discover what parts of your body are so sensitive that you may not be able to handle it. That’s my version of a good use of the tool.

The wheel is 6.15 inch in length and is 3/4 in diameter with 20 small rounded off nubs all the way around it. there is a rivet that holds the wheel in so that it turns on the handle.It is made of out of stainless steel with a red plastic hollow handle attached. The handle is smooth. In between the handle and the wheel the steel flares out perfectly so that when you have the handle in your hand you have a spot to place your pointer finger so you will have a better grasp and better control when using the wheel. The design especially for the price is nice. When I first got it and took it out of the packaging it squeaked when I would roll it. I dipped it in baby oil and it doesn’t squeak anymore, and it rolls just fine. The wheel has no odors and handles easily.

I really didn’t know what to expect when I ordered my wheel because it did look a little intimidating and possibly even painful. My thoughts were a pizza slicer when first looking at it. After receiving my wheel and actually trying it out I was wowed. It tickled me to the point of laughing, and it also gave me chill bumps from the pleasureful sensation I felt. When the wheel is ran across my body my senses come alive, and it is such a turn on. The pleasure is endless from just a massage to all over body stimulation. From to soft that it tickles to pleasurably harder, depending on what you prefer.

Firm use of the wheel could leave small temporary marks from the wheels nubs.This item is a simple and easy to handle tool, but does so much that the stimulation is endless.

You can’t boil the entire wheel to sterilize it because of the plastic handle. You can however use some tongs and dip only the steel part of the item in boiling water. You could also soak the wheel part of it in alcohol. Me myself, I just use soap and water. If it starts to squeak again you can dip it in baby oil to stop the squeaking and to keep it well lubricated. Make sure the wheel is dry before you put away.

The wheel was packed in a soft clear baggy. Then packaged into a small box just big enough a size for the black blindfold that came with the wheel and the wheel itself. The box is white with a picture of the on the front. You can store the wheel in the box. There were no directions in any of the packaging.

This is an item that i'd never of thought i'd like because it looked intimidating, but let me tell you there are so many levels of pleasure with this small item.
